Rose?

I understand that Rose is very commonly used as a middle name nowadays, but what do you think of it as a first name? She will be a twin, almost definitely to be named Clara Juliette. DH is French and it has a very sentimental meaning for us, as in DH's wedding vows he included a quote from "The Little Prince" which in English reads as "It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose important."

Paternal half-sisters (my step-daughters) are Cassandra Geneviève, Madeleine Emma and Amélie Séraphine, full sister is Lucie Aurélie.

Is it too old fashioned/too popular? Does it go well with her other sisters' names, and her potential twin Clara Juliette? And what do you think of the name Félicité as a middle name?

Rose Félicité and Clara Juliette... I think I like it, but I'm not sure!

Also, don't worry if you think Rose Félicité or any of the other names are too French, as they have a very French surname and a very English name could look a bit silly.

Very grateful for opinions!

I love Rose as a first name. It's classic and simple and makes people think of a beautiful flower whenever they say the name.

I prefer Rosie, but that's just because that's more of my style. I think it sounds/goes lovely!

I ADORE Rose as a first name.

I love it. And there really aren't that many of them. Which is weird seeing how many girls have it as a middle name.

Rose and Clara sound great together.

Rose Félicité is gorgeous, as is Clara Juliette and the names the other sisters have are really elegant and flow so beautifully as well.

FWIW I think they go very well together - each of my girls has at least one of those names mentioned so I'm a bit biased.

All your daughters and step daughters names are gorgeous. Agree with Rose and Clara making me think of Doctor Who but that's not a bad thing imo!
